🌲 Assent goes beyond consent—it’s about empowering our clients with agency, autonomy, and the right to participate because they want to, not because they have to. True assent means recognizing and respecting all the ways someone might say “no” or choose not to participate. The goal isn’t compliance—it’s connection, trust, and genuine engagement. Developing self-advocacy and decision-making skills is essential to our clients’ safety and independence. 🌱
Assent-based care ensures children feel safe, respected, and heard while building meaningful, lasting skills. At North Arrow, we’re proud to uphold this standard of client-centered, compassionate treatment. 💙

🌟 Early intervention through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) can be life-changing for children with autism — and it all begins with early detection. 🕰
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends universal autism screening at 18 and 24 months during well-child visits, along with ongoing developmental surveillance by pediatricians. This proactive approach ensures early diagnosis and timely access to interventions that maximize positive outcomes.
Starting therapy during early childhood—when the brain is developing most rapidly—allows children to make meaningful gains in communication, social interaction, and independence. ABA helps reduce challenging behaviors, teaches essential daily living skills, and builds a strong foundation for school readiness and lifelong learning. Families also gain valuable tools to support their child’s growth at home. Research consistently shows that beginning ABA early leads to stronger long-term outcomes. 🌱
North Arrow offers complimentary consultations to help determine if ABA is right for your child. Email us at <info@northarrowaba.com> or call (231) 268-0007 to get started today! 📲
